Chapter Ninety-Three: Liu Feng's Suffering
Not to mention how Guan Yu, who was in a desperate situation in Maicheng, dealt with the siege of Lu Meng, first said that Liao Hua was ordered to go to Shangyong to ask for help. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info,:γ
Conquering the Shangyong counties, Meng Da's credit was far more than Liu Feng's, just because Liu Feng was Liu Bei's righteous son, and was named a deputy general by Liu Bei, leading Shangyong Taishou, but Meng Da was a deputy.
Meng Da was dissatisfied in his heart, and thought about Liu Bei's own welcome in Sichuan, but he was even more 'chest' stuffy, but he didn't dare to attack Liu Feng.
When Liao Hua came to see him, he stated that Guan Yu's troops were defeated and trapped in Maicheng, and asked Liu Feng to raise troops to rescue him as soon as possible, Meng Da was even more silent, although Liu Feng looked at it, he still pretended not to see it, but just lowered his head and sank 'groan'.
At this time, although there were more than 25,000 soldiers in Zhucheng, there were only 5,000 soldiers in Liu Feng's department, 10,000 people in Mengda's department, and the rest of the 10,000 people were originally Cao Cao's Shen Tan brothers. Liu Feng knew the friendship between Guan Yu and Liu Bei, knew that he was in difficulty, and had the heart to help, but he had to win Meng Da's secondment, so he could only say to Liao Hua: "The general has worked hard all the way, please go to the dormitory to rest first, and let me discuss with Zidu." β
Liao Hua obeyed the order to go to the post house to rest temporarily, and then went to Hanzhong to see Liu Bei to send an army after seeing Liu Feng send troops.
Liu Fengping retreated left and right, and said to Meng Da: "Uncle is trapped, what can I do?" β
Meng Da said: "The Eastern Wu soldiers 'fine' generals have taken Jiangling as their roots, and Cao 'Cao' personally led an army of more than 100,000 to surround Xiangyang, and it is expected that the city will be broken only in the future." We are waiting for the people of the mountain city, can An be able to defeat these two strong soldiers? Moreover, the Shen Tan brothers saw the great victory of the lord Hanzhong, so they leaned over and surrendered, the time is still short, and it is difficult to divide the 10,000 people, if the general is light, the disaster will be on the side, and if you stay behind, you are afraid to return to Cao 'Cao'. When the time comes, we will all be in the same predicament as Guan Yu! β
Liu Feng knew that what Meng Da said was reasonable, but thinking about the relationship between Guan Yu and Liu Bei, he still hesitated: "But Guan Yu and his father are like brothers, if you don't save it, but there is a mistake, how can I 'hand' over to my father?" β
Meng Da said with a smile: "I heard that the lord from Hanzhong for the queen 'wants' to set up an heir, asked Kong Ming, Kong Ming for this family affairs to teach Guan, Zhang, in the past, Guan Yu soldiers besieged Fancheng is still proud, because the general is not ordered to send troops to Fancheng to help him break Cao and dissatisfied, reply that the general is the son of the moth, can not stand, and persuade the king of Hanzhong to put the general far away in the land of Shangyong Mountain City, in order to prevent future troubles, everyone knows about this matter, how can the general not know? β
Meng Da said that Liu Feng knew it for a long time, but he was still afraid that Guan Yu would die, and he would not want to be left alone, so he had to say to Meng Da: "My father treats me like a child all the year round, although this place is a mountain city, even Jingzhou and Hanzhong, it is also a heavy responsibility, although the words of Zidu are good words, but the difficulty of my uncle is still not to be saved, in order to ensure that the mediocrity is not lost, I led 5,000 troops to Maicheng first to solve the urgent need, and stayed behind. So that the Hanzhong army can pass through this place unimpeded! β
Meng Da knew what Liu Feng was thinking, and he also hoped that Liu Feng would send troops to die in Maicheng, and he would be the commander of this place at that time. But the situation in Jingzhou was dangerous at this time, and as an adjutant, he let Liu Feng only take 5,000 troops to Maicheng, no matter whether he could hold out until Liu Bei's army arrived in the future, he would be very responsible. He had the intention of giving Liu Feng 5,000 troops and horses, but he was afraid that only 5,000 troops would not be able to restrain the Shen Tan brothers. Moreover, the 10,000 people in Meng Da's department are all the family funds he has saved up for several years of operation, and he is loyal to Meng Da. Defeat will destroy the whole army, and victory will definitely be detained by Guan Yu on the grounds of rebuilding Jingzhou's armament.
Thinking of this, between the two of Shangyong Taishou and preserving strength, Meng Da still chose to preserve his strength. At that moment, he restrained his smile, pretended to put himself in Liu Feng's shoes and persuaded him: "This place is hundreds of miles away from Maicheng, Cao 'Cao' has a large army in Xiangyang, and the general only brings 5,000 people, just like holding a salary to fight a fire, I am afraid that before I arrive in Maicheng, I will fall into the siege of Cao's army." The general can be on the ground, not to leave lightly, emphasizing that it is more important to keep this place as a passage into Jing, and repair a letter to ask Liao Hua to take him to Hanzhong to face the king of Hanzhong. When the soldiers of the king of Hanzhong come here, wouldn't it be more beautiful for the general to seek to break the siege for the vanguard? If the general is out lightly, the mediocrity is lost, and the king of Hanzhong 'wants' to save Jingzhou but can't get it, wouldn't it be even more of a crime? "Moreover, although General Guan was trapped in Maicheng at this time, he also led 30,000 troops to besiege Fancheng earlier, even if it was slightly unfavorable to recapture Jiangling, retreating to Maicheng but had the idea of waiting for reinforcements by the city, even if he could not recapture Jiangling, although Maicheng was small, with its military strength it would be able to defend until the king of Hanzhong arrived. If Shangyong is lost because of the general's lightness, and Cao 'Cao' is holding on to the king of Hanzhong here, then there is no hope for the rescue of Maicheng, and the general is besieged, and he is in a desperate situation! β
Liu Feng listened to Meng Da's words, suddenly felt reasonable, and immediately pressed the idea of personally leading troops to save Guan Yu, and discussed with Meng Da the content of the letter to Liu Bei, and when he summoned Liao Hua, he asked Liao Hua to bring this letter to Hanzhong for help on the grounds that he had made a decision to be above memorial, could not divide the troops, and wanted to firmly guard the Jing channel.
Liao Hua knew that there was little grain in Maicheng and the situation was sinister, so he asked Liu Feng to send 5,000 troops to bring more grain and grass to solve the urgent need. Shangyong had a long way to go to Maicheng, and Liu Feng saw that Liao Hua not only wanted him to send troops, but also asked him to carry a large amount of grain and grass, and he was even more determined that this matter was not feasible. Liao Hua saw that Liu Feng had no intention of sending troops, and he hated it in his heart, but he had no choice but to go to Hanzhong overnight to ask for the army.
When Liu Feng heard that Liao Hua was leaving, he was restless, but he was reluctant to send troops, so he had to send people in the direction of Jingzhou to inquire about the news, and on the other hand, he only waited for Liu Bei to lead the army to come and tell the reason. In this way, Guan Yu's hope for reinforcements from Shangyong came to naught.
Besides, Guan Yu was looking forward to the arrival of the soldiers in Maicheng day and night, but there was no movement, and the soldiers in the city gradually fled. When Lu 'Meng' heard that Sun Quan's army had come west through Lukou, he was afraid of losing his great achievement, so he personally supervised the battle and besieged the various 'gates' of Maicheng, from morning to night, the willows on the moon rested, and attacked for several days. One day, Guan Yu counted the soldiers in the city, there were less than 1,000 people, and when he saw that the rescuers were still nowhere to be seen, he broke through into the heart of Sichuan. Lv 'Meng' captured Guan Yu for a living, and sent an envoy into the city to persuade him to surrender the next day, Guan Yu was furious, and wanted to kill the envoy on the spot, but Wang Fu persuaded to kill the Wu envoy for fear of making LΓΌ 'Meng' attack the city more dramatic, which made Guan Yu endure his anger, but ordered someone to drive Wu Envoy out.
The envoy returned to the camp to say that the siege of LΓΌ Meng's city became more violent, leaving only a 'gate' in the north of the city not to be surrounded, and 'luring' Guan Yu to see that the city was difficult to defend and escaped from the north 'gate', so that he could be captured by ambush soldiers as soon as possible.
That night, Guan Yu had no plan in his heart, and the Wu soldiers outside the city called Yuecheng to surrender to avoid death, and the army's morale was disheartened, and there were many people who went. Wang Fu said: "I regret that I didn't use public words in the past, and I didn't listen to Zhuge Song's advice to withdraw from the army!" Today's crisis, what can I do? β
Wang Fu cried: "Today's matter, although the grandson is resurrected, there is nothing to be done!" β
Zhao Lei said: "If the Shangyong rescue army does not come, it must be because Liu Feng and Meng Da saw that Cao 'Cao' and Sun Quan were powerful and did not move." Now the plan is to abandon this lonely city, run into Xichuan, and ask the lord to raise the army again, in order to recover! β
Guan Yu knew that there was no other way than this, so he wanted to adopt it, and ordered someone to bring a map from the north 'gate' to the direction of Shangyong. Suddenly, a word came from the last corner: "This is not allowed!" If the prince and marquis go out from the north 'gate', he will be in Lu 'Meng's ambush plan! β
